port �of the drive:
"It would be a step backwards to give

for so great a college as Bryn Mawr to
�tep backwards."

INNER LIFE MUST OBEY
LAWS SAYS FOSDICK
Lawless Self-Expression is Mere
Cariacature of True Psychology
of Sublimated Instincts
FREEDOM RIDS US OF NO LAW
"If I were a scientist instead of a
preacher. I might speak to you tonight of
the natural physical laws of the universe,"
said Dr. Fosdick, delivering the Bacca-
laureate address in the "gymnasium on
Sunday evening.
"Instead." he continued. "I shall speak
to you of the natural inner laws.
"'Wide is the gate; broad is the way
that leads to destruction. Many are they
that enter therein.' This was not a stern
decree, but a simple statement of universal
law. The Master came to bring people
life. He saw that few people were get-
ting it. This was His explanation.
"The lawlessness of American civiliza-
tion is appalling. Statistics show that no
other civilized nation approaches it in the
percentage of violent crime.
"Self-expression sums up our modern
attitude. This is fairly natural. Human
life comes in seasons. There are the win-
ter seasons when life congeals and freraes
into patterns. These are followed by the
springtime thaws, when customs again
become plastic, pliable, and fluid, until the
spring freshets tear down, and mud clogs
up all the roads. The Victorian era was
the winter. Now is the spring, the re-
lease: in music, jazz; in art, cubism.
